Christmas Koko and Reindeer card for Bizzy Becs

 


Hello everyone

 

I have made a new card for Bizzy Becs using 

the gorgeous Koko and Reindeer Digital stamp.






I have been watching a few videos on YouTube and really wanted to try colouring in 
a snow scape with my Copic markers.


I have printed the Digital stamp onto Xpress-It blending card and coloured it in with my Copic pens.
I have then drawn in freehand the snow line in the background.
 
Colouring the night sky was next starting with my darkest blue and moving down through to the
 lightest blue leaving a circle in the top edge to add my moon which I have drawn in freehand.




The trees are drawn freehand on top of the coloured night sky.

I have fussy cut out my coloured in elephant and reindeer and glued them down onto my 
completed background.

Once everything is in place I have used a white gel pen to add the snow! 
It does take awhile that's for sure 

Lastly I have stamped my sentiment and cut it down to size.
 Lastly I have trimmed down my card using a large stitched rectangle die.

You are amazing card featuring the Its Your Day stamp set


Hi everyone 

Can you believe that we are heading into December, it's crazy!

Today I would like to share with you a new card for Paper Rose Studio. 





I have used the beautiful It's your Day stamp set to create a really feminine card. I think this 
stamp set is gorgeous for a birthday or even a graduation card.






After stamping in Memento ink I have used copic markers to colour in the dress keeping dark shadows
 to create folds 





The background is simple and clean, I have used the Baby Blue embossing folder to 

texture white card. I have then matted this onto a teal base.

I have coloured in my sentiment with a light coloured Copic marker to match

in with the dress tones.


I have added a small splattering of the clear crystals for some soft sparkle.



Supplies Used: 

19069 Its Your Day 4 x 4 Stamp Set

20384 Baby Blue Embossing Folder

19694 Amazing Fine Script Layered Die

19499 Clear Crystals

20165 So Extra Supporting Sentiments

Christmas Stained Glass effect card

 

Hi There


I am excited to share another project fo Paper Rose Studio, 

WOW! embossing powder and Paper Rose Studio are collaborating together

 this weekend for a blog hop!


My project was on the first day of the Hop and you will find it here:

https://mandyherring.blogspot.com/2020/11/paper-rose-studio-and-wow-embossing.html


In the spirit of the hop I have used WOW! embossing powders to create my latest card that 

has a stained glass effect.



This was such a fun card to make!

I have embossed each panel of the die cut to colour it. I find it easier to lay down a black outline of the die first, I then recut the die in white and fill in all the little windows with the white cut outs. you simply piece them back n like a puzzle.


I use the Ranger Distress embossing pen to colour in each panel and emboss with embossing powders.

It takes a bit of time but so worth it!


Don't forget to follow along the blog hop this weekend!




Supplies used: 

Paper Rose Studio

19477 Stained Glass Holy Family Die Set

19538 Nesting Arches Die Set

19514 Seasons Greetings Chunky Word Die 


WOW! embossing powders


Thanks for stopping by


Until next time

Paper Rose Studio and WOW! embossing powder blog hop

 



Hello and welcome to the WOW! Embossing Powder New Release giveaway Hop!  

Thank you Karen ReƔtegui for sending everyone my way!


For those of you that don't know me I am on Paper Rose Studio's design team and

I am so excited to be asked to take part in this blog hop to show case to you the new release collection from WOW. 


I appreciate that you chose to stop by! 

Here is my project that I created using WOW! embossing powders and Paper Rose Studio Dies.





I have die cut Paper Roses' Daisies Die out of white card and pieced back into the outline all the petals. Once in place I have heat embossed the inside pieces with WOW embossing powders in 'Love Is The Drug' and 'Rose Glintz'.

The easiest way to do this is to use an embossing pen to colour in each petal an then sprinkle the powders on starting with Rose Glintz at the centre of the flower and then Love Is The Drug around the outer edges.
I have then heated the powders. To get the depth I needed as well as to create a smooth finish I have repeated this process again.

Once embossed I have then die cut another layer of the Daisies die and glued that on top to tidy up any overlap and add extra depth.






I have then done this process again for all three flowers.





The Hello Gorgeous fine script sentiment has also been die cut out of white card and heat embossed with
'Angel Eyes' embossing powder.


I have cut out my background using the Diagonal Stripe die in white and I have coloured the
cut out pieces with copic markers in shades of turquoise in tones from light to dark.

Supplies Used:

WOW!:

Rose Glintz
Love Is The Drug
Angel Eyes

Paper Rose:

18533 Daisies Die
18572 Diagonal Stripe Coverplate
19706 Hello Fine Script Die

Mouse on Present Christmas Card

 


Hi I'm back with card for Bizzy Becs and I have used one of the 

Bizzy Becs Digital Stamps.





For this card I have printed the digital file onto Xpress-it blending card using my inkjet printer 
so that I can colour with Copic Markers.

After Colouring I have fussy cut to the image and mounted it onto my background layers.

I watched a facebook live with Luisana Lowry from my life in my craft room where she coloured in a gift  ribbon to look like gold foil and I really wanted to try out her technique.

I love how the brown under colours really help to create the shine on the ribbon.
 
The Happy Christmas Die cut from Creative expressions has been hot foiled with a satin green foil.




I have then glued my sentiment down onto an embossed panel that I die cut out and ran through 
an embossing folder.



Supplies Used:

Bizzy Becs Digital Image :  Mouse On Present
Creative Expressions:  Herringbone Background
Creative Expressions :  Happy Christmas Word Die


Copic Markers:

Bow:
E29  E57  E35  E31 Y08  Y11
YR24 E55 YR31 Y00

present:
Y28  E42  E50
R59 R46 R24

Mouse:
W5  W3  W1 W00
R02  R00 R000


Don't forget to pop into the store 
where you can pre-order so many great stamps and dies, 
or if you're ready to create right away 
why don't you grab a few of the terrific digital images available

see you next time
